Podcasting Workshop

Basically, podcasting is broadcasting. A podcast is often scripted ahead, especially when working with students and then usually recorded and converted into a sound file, often in the MP3 format. Podcasts are often listened to with an IPod, where the name podcasting originated, or some other tool or mp3 player. They can also be downloaded and listened to on a computer. Podcasts can be subscribed to using RSS (really simple syndication) feeds that push out the new podcast to your aggregator and then listened to at your convenience. They are often created using something as simple as a phone call or as complex as a laptop with special microphones and mixing software.

Aggregators

An aggregator collects your RSS feeds of blogs, podcasts and other resources that offer feeds. You can use aggregators for collecting updates to Del.icio.us accounts, wikis, news, forums, website updates and more. I usually use Bloglines to collect my information but there are others too.
